We've all seen the pictures of Hunter with a crack/meth pipe in his mouth. It's a well-known fact that he struggles with addiction. However, that's a small, small issue compared to his and Joe's corruption. In fact, going after Hunter because of his addiction is a MISTAKE.
Lots of people struggle with addiction. Lots of good people, too. Donald Trump and his supporters have never had an issue with addicts, but with dealers. Fentanyl for instance, that's dealt with at the border, not by going after opioid addicts. Get them the help they need. Hunter could be the biggest crackhead in the universe but that's not important, what's important is how he used his daddy's position to make money.
I guess you could say it's stronger evidence that Burisma shouldn't have hired him. He spoke no Ukrainian (or Russian?), had no energy experience, and was a crackhead. So maybe that's more evidence of how he really shouldn't have gotten the job on his own merits. But even in that context, it's not worth going after since Burisma was chump change compared to the China connections.
We need to make sure that the narrative that we use focuses on the substance, not the distractions.
Agreed, in that context. But if we, or President Trump, talks about it then we need to be VERY careful to make that distinction crystal clear. Otherwise I can see the headlines, "Donald Trump Hates Drug Addicts"
I hope biden tries that angle at the debate and trump can respond with fuck you, you political hack... think i dont know about addiction? My brother, who i loved so dearly, died to it, and thats why im the first president in decades who never drinks alcohol. Defused.
I could give two shits if he was high on crack until his dying breath. Stealing taxpayer money on the otherhand...hang the fuck
The crack pipe photos serve to prove the rest of the content on the hard drive. There’s no way this is information they want in public. We need video to persuade the masses I’m afraid
What about the allegation that hes abusing underage chinese girls? If some minor, never-executed business deal was enough for putin to own trump, then Xi will make Biden sell half the country to the CCP
Agreed
People ARE focusing on the content? That Hunter is a drug addict has been known for a while now. FOX, Giuliani, OAN etc. are all talking about the content, not the drugs.
Lots of people, in fact I'd say most people, are focusing on the content. I still see a few posts that go after his crack use specifically without the broader context I mentioned in the OP. I posted this just to make sure we're unified in our messaging.
The content of the emails is paramount, however the pictures of Hunter with a crackpipe are important because they help validate the leak. Those images are the reason these emails have any traction. Many leftists argue that the leaks are part of a Russian hoax, to which you can simply ask "Are the leaked pictures of Hunter with a crack pipe fake?"
I agree with OP; focus on the bigger crime. The images should only serve to validate the authenticity.
Biden tried to deflect the Hunter bomb in the first debate by playing the addict sympathy game. Trump cut him off before Biden could shed crocodile tears.
